Photon Shield Shield

The Shield Shield converts the footprint and pins of your Photon or Core into that of an Arduino, allowing for use of existing Arduino shields and accessories.

This shield converts the pin mapping of the Core to the Arduino pin layout and provides a voltage translation of 3.3V to/from 5V.

Compatible with both the Core and the Photon.
